💯

Absolutely. You nailed it.!!😁

Ok buts what's cooler than Rockets lil jelly no?

Just show some more....... was pretty cool too

Yeah... amazing. Isn't. It. 🤫

@@dirtdiggity1714 _PLEASE_ don't tell me your one of those _"We never went to space"_ people.... 😒

FR! I thought reentry meant a comms blackout but not in this case it seems

@@user-ce7ic1ze2uthis system is using Starlink satellites which are above the above to keep comms going. The plasma is primarily at the front/bottom of the craft.

@@user-ce7ic1ze2uthe big difference is every other space ship has tried to communicate directly with the ground. Starship was communicating through starlink above it. So it was firing the other direction

NASA did - and by all accounts, still does - know how to make superior space probes.

@@HuntingTarg Yeah, they're really good when not being hamstrung by Congress trying to get pork to certain districts.

It would be great if it's a just age or a cosmic ray taking out memory, which was anticipated from the beginning of the project build, and it's so old and basic computer builds it can be worked around.

Thanks. Now I can't unsee it. 🤣

​​@@MediaWML Don't feel bad... I can't unsee that Scott's a *Sith Lord!* 😦 _(Vader figurine, Vader's Tie Fighter image/box [I think?; on the left wall shelf], and Vader's Lightsaber)_ Yea yea, should've seen it coming, being he rocks Vader's hair style, but still... he's such a nice guy! lol I guess it was the cookies that did it.... 😅

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE Vader's hair style lol

I hadn't realized Scott was an Outer Wilds fan!

Hehehehe...OCD much?

This is possible because electronics were not so miniaturized back then and are therefore less susceptible to damage from cosmic radiation.

It could actually be stuck griffin as at this altitude aerodynamic control have enough air to "bite in"

too many unicorns to have a stuck griffin@@just_archan

Grid fins were doing the guidance the engines should have been doing by that time

Dont think anything like that's ever been recorded before!! Definitely good for science!

There is footage from tail fin top camera mounted on one of the Space Shuttle flights that captured the plasma flow around one of the STS's during its reentry.

@@davecrupel2817 It's a first for this quality of view. Thanks to Starship being larger, and having Starlinks overhead to sneak a signal out of the plasma field. From Spaceshuttle days, there are a couple of forward views, but video is only ~500-600 pixels, not HD high contrast.

@@AerialWaviator Id rather see it from an angle like this anyway! Better to catch the angles of deflection, any possible oscillations of the plasma, and such.

@@CumulusGranitis Oh yeah. I remember seeing that. That too was amazeballs.

Good luck wijzeheinvanderveen. Hope you succeed. I have seen two Totals and they are a most awesome experience. 😀

I can confirm that, we were in Wyoming in 2017. A 4 hour drive down from Sundance to Jay Em. Then a Six hour drive back to Sundance. We also experience the same in Chile in 2019. Two hour drive up to the ESO at La Silla from La Serena, a 6 hour drive back at 15 to 20 kph. With the odd idiot racing up the shoulder at 60 to 100 kph. Only down side in La Serena ... it is a summer tourist place. NO heat in any of the hotels or BnB's.

One of the things about everyone using Garmin, Mapquest, Apple and Google Maps. ( Waze was barely a start up at the time.) I once chose to leave Atlanta going west on I-20 to get away from traffic leaving the old stadium and they were all routed south on the other highway ramps out of downtown. You are joining a queue that's all based on time or shortest distance to destination.

Another. 10:12 Dragons used to fly out of SLC40 until about 4 years ago I think. I think this was the first flight of a Dragon *2* out of SLC40.

I thought he meant fully stacked static fire

@@neoleo690 that'd be more confusing, SpaceX doesn't static fire with a full stack. The only time they fire the boosters engines with a ship stacked on top us when they launch.

So it never completed a static fire ​@@AlienVibesss

Starship is the equivalent of a brain transplant!

much harder than brain launching

It always has. NASA and other agencies didn't progressed for long time with experiments, reusing where was possible flight proven hardware. Didn't pushed boundaries so theoretical models are just approximated. Ie second stage of SLS is just slightly modified delta stage. Centaur (second stage of vulcan) was developed in sixties. Boosters and main engines for SLS are from late seventies. Just modified. And expensive. I don't blame NASA for that. It's politically motivated to do this that way. Going over budget create just slight inconvenience. Misshaps and failures even during tests can cancel programs because politicians. And if you can't push to limits, you don't know where are those limits. NASA due to political restrictions also has to distribute projects to multiple contractors, just to get enough votes for budget. This is making any changes to initial project very hard. SpaceX can make radical changes on short notice. This is how they can reduce cost as much. It can push to limits and testing on basis of most "optimistic" models, and fixing everything if something just didn't work. NASA have to prepare for most pessimistic models I hope that will work.

Musk is doing good work.

I recommend stopping by the War in the Pacific museum while you're there.

Timestamp of the mistake: 10:15

They also have the National Museum of the Pacific War, and Admiral Chester Nimitz's childhood home.

If they ever actually get it back without RUD

I think you need to ask Explosions and Fire

​@@scottmanley Ahh, that's a great idea! It'd be just like that time he poured liquid ozone onto a small piece of Styrofoam!

That was the 1st time I've seen Ozone liquified. It was a magical hue of purple, like a tasty artificial grape flavored kool-aid.@@GregBadabinski

@@GregBadabinski yes I remember that…..

Tom's on Scott's radar??? *_HELL_* yea!! That's awesome 🤘

I think you are correct. Contributing to the RUD could be that it was still Supersonic just decelerating to trans sonic. For rocket that is roughly 10 meters wide, that is a massive Max Q pressure building up under that blunt tail section. I think the next flight "may" include a Reentry Burn so that Super Heavy goes trans sonic much higher in the atmosphere and at lower speed and their for lower pressures on the base of the vehicle.

Happy birthday!

He's getting famous off the back of us But its all a scam so he can get free Lego for his live stream builds

Same here. Live in north Dallas and went to Nebraska for the last one. I'll definitely be driving down south of town for the max totality; It's so rare you really want to get every second you can. Just got my eclipse glasses out of storage, now to obsess over the weather forecast...

@@zacklewis342 Well even if it is cloudy and a person can't run to a potential clear spot, on a cloudy day at the time of max eclipse in the early afternoon it will be nearly as dark as night. That is also something to see on a bright day!! As I always say... be safe.

We were in SE Wyoming in 2017. Absolutely worth the effort to get their for 2 minutes 30 of Totality. Hope you have a cloud free day. Best wishes.

@@CumulusGranitis Luckily there were a small band of clouds between where you were and middle Nebraska. I was actually intending southwestern Nebraska but as I neared the location I originally chose I could see the clouds. So I turned around and went back east. The new location was perfect and the clouds didn't get there until the eclipse finished!!

I'm on a tour from the UK and will be at Waxahachie, just South of Dallas. 4m17s. This will be my second totality, the first was Devon in 1999, completely clouded. Impressive but not the same. If this doesn't work there's Luxor in 2027, cloud probability 0% Chris

Now that is one very cool way to seen an eclipse.

@@CumulusGranitisYes it was, with all the roads blocked for miles and miles, we justflew over it all in our J230D and touchiung down at YEXM just 1/2 hour before the eclipse, taxied in, put down the rug on the grass and watched. 1/2 laters back into the aircraft heading south ;) The Solar eclipse great.

If Scott flies to Exmouth with your wife and Boxer he'll miss the eclipse in NA ;) Sounds like it would have been awesome 👌

Why don't they just drop the satellite?

@@benjaminhanke79Fantastic idea!

🤣😂

I don't even understand what the issue is here. It seems they just have to report what "mishap" happened, as far as they know, and what they do as "mitigation" in the next try. Then the FAA can't do much else than to rubber stamp that report. Don't know why they want more funding for that.

@@cube2fox you could look it up. it's the first result if you search for "FAA seek new funding" - and it goes into quite a lot more detail - but the essence is "there's a lot more to it than you think"

@@cube2fox The issue with the FAA is: what justification do they have for requiring _anything at all_ of SpaceX? Unless they can affirmatively justify inserting themselves into the situation, they should have no more say than I do. If SpaceX wants to intentionally blow up a Starship as the worlds most expensive firework, maybe the ATF would have something to say about that, the FAA should just issue the NOTAR. At most, the only thing SpaceX should have to show the FAA is that nothing unexpected was put at risk (and something was, even everything "going according to plan" shouldn't keep the FAA out). You could make a case that SpaceX should be expected to show that nothing happened that wasn't already accounted for in the safety plans. But that's basically the same as my original proposal, just by making "according to plan" include everything that was planed for, including the stuff they were trying to avoid.

Funding is necessary due this rubber stamping. Mishaps are actually least problem, but approving and preparing launch windows (NOTAP/NOMAP etc). Simply not enough people to cover all bases. Either more people/more money, or reducing necessary work load for each thing. Like launch licence required to contact other agencies and reading all stuff that people sended. And last time bunch of social justice warriors and environmental Ngo sended tones of that. Dismissed almost everything as it should, but everything had to be responded

​@@just_archan if they don't have money to pay people to read paperwork, why are they still asking for more? But really I'm more looking at what they are demanding others do.

You didn't strike me as a fellow rocket enjoyer lol

@@snakevenom4954 very much so

I got major wood watching this.

Me too

Why not have a Reaver engine and also a Kaylee engine? Reaver would be more powerful but the Kaylee would have better fuel economy.

I thought Reaver was the 2nd Stage engine? Although, I'll be honest, given how Reaver engines are tuned up in the Firefly 'verse, that would be a name better suited for a solid rocket motor... At least in my opinion, given how chaotic and firey their output are. 😊 _(as opposed to pretty-pretty mach diamonds of the other fuel types)_ I've made this joke before, I'll probably make it again: I hope they paint the rocket in Browncoat's Brown, or at _the very least,_ at least do it for the inaugural launch!

​@@judet2992reavers are hated and feared enemies of the firefly crew there's absolutely no reason to want to name anything after them!

@@Shivaho yeah but it’s still a cool name

And don't forget Apollo 13- the service module's explosion happened exactly on the night of April 13th!

Cute, but also untrue. It's a historical conversion outcome - 760 torr was the old definition which converts to 101325 Pa (and yes, the number of significant digits used in that conversion is horrible). You've then swapped it into millibars getting your wildly not-a-datetime-format 1013.25 It's also worth mentioning that friday the 13th wasn't an unlucky thing for centuries after the knights templar anecdote, whatever Mr Brown may have written in his fiction books.

I think the knights templar would have preferred hectopascals. But at least they knew the _real_ real average sea pressure. The freaky thing is that QNH is of course latin for "Quod Non [est] Hariolo" - or "that, which is not from a prophet" ;)
